Automatic taps, also known as sensor taps or touchless faucets, are plumbing fixtures that allow users to turn the water on and off without physical contact. They use infrared sensors to detect the presence of hands or objects, activating the flow of water when needed. This technology helps reduce water waste and promotes hygiene by minimizing the spread of germs. These taps are commonly found in public restrooms, kitchens, and hospitals. They can be powered by batteries or connected to the electrical system. Automatic taps are part of a broader trend towards smart home technology, enhancing convenience and efficiency in daily tasks.
